Governor Honors Indiana Businesses for Longevity, Community Service

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Gov. Mitch Daniels honored 87 Indiana companies for longevity and community service today by awarding them the Governor's Century or Half Century Business Awards during an Indiana Statehouse ceremony.

A total of 28 Indiana companies received Century Awards for being in business a minimum of 100 consecutive years. Fifty nine Hoosier companies received Half Century Awards, for operating for a minimum of 50 years. Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman and Secretary of Commerce Nathan Feltman joined Daniels in honoring the Indiana companies.

 

"These companies are the foundation of economic growth for our state. Home-grown Indiana companies like these provide the stability and longstanding community involvement that typifies our traditional Hoosier values," said Governor Daniels.

 

The Governor's Century and Half Century Business Awards honor Indiana businesses that have remained in operation for 100 or 50 years or more and have also demonstrated a history of community service. More than 1,000 companies from across Indiana have been recognized during the 18-year history of the Awards.
